Led the team to six consecutive victories; scored 114 points against the Houston Rockets, a recognized defensive team in the league; Yao Ming, the nemesis that everyone imagined, did not perform too well against the Lakers. All these things made him

Ke Yan's reputation continues to rise, and many voices of praise surround him.

Even Nelson, whom Ke Yan regarded as his "mentor", spoke highly of Ke Yan during the interview.

"This Lakers team is a masterpiece, a truly outstanding team. Just like an orchestra, the Lakers can always play perfect chords, always maintain tacit coordination, and have good timing. The NBA gathers

The best coaches in the world, Kimi is one of the best. In my opinion, without the exploration and changes made by this new generation of coaches, basketball will stagnate."

Ke Yan quickly responded to Nelson's praise: "Old Nelson is the coach who has the most profound influence on me. He gave me a glimpse of the new era of basketball that is about to come. If you want to find someone who can predict 30 years ago,

If there is a crystal ball for the future direction of the basketball world, you will find it, it is in Nelson's playbook."

Time came to March, and the Lakers welcomed back Shaq O'Neal, who left the team in the summer, at home. The Heat, ranked first in the Eastern Conference, were also the favorite team to end the Lakers' winning streak. The feud between Kobe and O'Neal

, this game attracted so much attention that it was temporarily included in the broadcast plan by ESPN. Everyone hopes to see another wonderful performance on the level of a Christmas war.

However, the reason why an upset is an upset means that this kind of thing cannot happen every day. David can only defeat Goliath once by making all the right decisions. Perhaps more people are willing to do this than becoming a dragon-slaying boy.

Become the most powerful dragon.

O'Neal, who went all out, showed the Lakers what cruelty is in the first quarter. Diop, who caused great trouble for O'Neal in the low post defense in the last round, lasted less than three minutes before being fouled twice by O'Neal.

, after the beating, without the buffer of Mim, Anderson, who was used as a backup, was forced to step forward to challenge, and was completely crushed, basically giving away points.

I don’t know where France’s Daniel Wu got the confidence to say he could guard O’Neal.

O'Neal was like a battering ram, smashing open the Lakers' gate and harvesting heads like crazy. The rest of the Heat players focused all their energy on the defensive end. Under tight defense, the Lakers' offense was also hindered.<

/p>

In the first quarter, the team trailed the Heat by 15 points at 18:33.

O'Neal made 7 of 8 shots and 4 of 9 free throws. He scored 18 points in a single quarter and showed off his power at Staples Center!

Regarding "what achievements Yao Ming can achieve in the small ball era", it was a point of contention among many fans in his previous life. "Yao blowers" are generally optimistic that Yao Ming will crush everyone in the small ball era and can force the inside of other teams in the league.

Prepare a blue-collar insider to carry the man, but the "Yao Blacks" believe that two-pointers can never score as fast as three-pointers. Yao Ming is unable to adapt to fast-paced offense and defense, cannot defend pick-and-rolls, and does not have enough physical strength to run back and forth in parallel.

If you play small ball, your achievements will be just like that. Beating the small ball era is pure fantasy.

But no matter what the outcome of the dispute between Yao Ming and "small ball" is, one thing can basically be agreed upon, "O'Neal is the absolute small ball terminator."

This game reflected this. Ke Yan thought of many ways to deal with O'Neal, and finally found that the "shark-cutting tactic" was the most effective.

In Ke Yan's view, the "shark-cutting tactic" that cannot guarantee offensive efficiency does not make much sense. But in this game, the Lakers can only use this tactic to slow down O'Neal's offensive edge, and at the same time, they hope that the team's offensive end will be exhausted.

Possibly efficient. However, the outside offensive group led by Kobe failed to achieve this, and ultimately suffered the bitter consequences of a disastrous defeat.

87:114, the Lakers suffered the most painful defeat since Ke Yan took office, and also the worst loss this season. (37-21)

In the whole game, O'Neal made 16 of 23 shots and 11 of 25 free throws. He scored 43 points and dominated the Lakers' interior.

Kobe's statistics were pretty good, with 9 of 21 shots, 5 of 12 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and 29 points. But anyone who watched the game knew that because the team had been leading by more than 20 points, the Heat had to wait until the second half.

The defensive intensity is relatively average, allowing the Lakers to make some simple shots.

After a disastrous defeat, the fans were not harsh on Ke Yan. No one would deny the team's previous wonderful performance just because of a loss after six consecutive victories.

The most frustrated person was Kobe. After the press conference, he practiced for an extra hour in the arena as a warning to himself.

After a day off, the Lakers faced their old rival Celtics at home and won the game 113-104, avoiding a losing streak. (37-22)

The Yellow-Green War is a glorious period in the history of the NBA. In the first round of the season showdown between the two teams, the atmosphere at the Celtics' home court exerted great pressure on the Lakers. When they came to the Staples Center, Lakers fans also felt the same.

Putting huge pressure on Celtic players.

Under this situation, several players in the Celtics team whose psychological quality was not stable showed ups and downs. Antoine Walker made 4 of 12 shots, and LaFrentz made 1 of 6 shots. It was a spicy attack on the offensive end.

.What’s even worse is that the two of them worked together to grab 8 rebounds, and the fight for the rebounds was so explosive!

In the last game, they were beaten by O'Neal in the paint and were doubtful about their lives. Anderson and Odom learned their shame and courage in this game. When they caught Walker and LaFrentz, they just smashed their heads and grabbed offensive rebounds.

At 9, his heroic performance was nothing like the Lakers' inside line.

The team has an absolute advantage in rebounding. Kobe, Finley, and Butler have ample opportunities to rebound, and their offense is becoming more bold and determined.

The Celtics' outside offense was not weak. Pierce scored 32 points and 6 rebounds. Statistics master Ricky Davis was not lenient at all in such situations, scoring 21 points. However, the team still lost ground because of the loss inside.

Six Lakers players scored in double figures. Kobe Bryant posted 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Overall, he was quite satisfactory. The key is for the team to win.

Due to the team's performance, Kobe's hope of competing for MVP this season has been very slim. The honors he can compete for are the scoring champion and the All-NBA First Team. His main opponents are Iverson.

Kobe averaged 30.2 points per game, only a little behind Iverson (30.3). On the MVP list, Nash and O'Neal ranked first two, Duncan ranked third, and Kobe and Iverson ranked fourth.

Fifth. In the competition for the All-NBA guard position, in addition to Nash firmly occupying one spot, the other spot is between Kobe and Iverson.

Both honors are within reach. Based on Ke Yan's understanding of Kobe, he must "want them all" and will most likely take more shots in the game, even if it means sacrificing some efficiency.

In order to avoid some unhappy things happening, Ke Yan took the initiative to call Kobe and talked to him a lot.

The team will make some tactical adjustments for him, create singles opportunities for him, lead or fall behind by a big score, and also allow him to rack up points on the court.

But if you don't feel good, you have to reduce your jump shots and strengthen your breakthroughs. When facing double teams, score the ball when it's time to score. Don't attack the double teams.

"Learn to adjust, it won't be difficult for you!"

No one knows whether Kobe can accept Ke Yan’s opinion. The point is that Ke Yan showed his kindness to Kobe.

He was also the first coach to tell Kobe Bryant explicitly that he would "help you brush up the statistics." This is quite special.
